    Given the cyclical nature of American politics and the fact tromp isn’t running again means its likely the democrats will win the next election.

      You think Trump isn’t going to run again—or try to?

      The next President will be a Republican because democrats have nothing to offer. The best case scenario is a pause to the free fall. But no backing up.

      My bet is on Bovino if Trump doesn’t wiggle his way into a third term. If he gets elected, he’s gonna kill a lot of people.

        Even if he was allowed to run he’d need the backing of the GOP and the money boys. GOP knows he’s old, failing and unpopular. Donors will have realised he can’t be controlled and for many reasons it would be throwing good money after bad. I just don’t see it.

        At this rate would they have to offer anything?

        My bet is on Bovino

        As a candidate maybe, but the man is a joke. How you rally people around that? Plus you’re gonna have half the cabinet scrapping it out for the nomination. It’ll be Vance, Rubio, or maybe Hegseth on the ticket. And they’re all problematic.

          How are they going to rally people around something worse than Trump? They love Trump. They want Trump on crack. 30% of the country. They’re gonna vote.

          The US is done for.

          And, I think Bovino is the “perfect” GOP candidate after Trump. Absolutely gonna slaughter people in the street (more so than now). The GOP is salivating.

        Trump may try to run, but it won’t happen. Even if a corrupt SCOTUS allowed it, some states would for sure fight that since elections are state level, and he doesn’t have the support required to win the general. He’d get his fanatics, but even many staunch conservatives are fed up with his shit. I think him being the top candidate in the general would create apathy amongst Republican voters enough that he wouldn’t win a swing state at the same time bolstering the opposition vote.

        Dems have to put up someone not named Harris or Newsome and they’ll have a chance to get people to the polls for something instead of against something. With the way progressive candidates have succeeded in the past couple of weeks, there are signs of possible change. I don’t believe we’re there yet, but it’s better than the same shit again.

        Also, Bovino has no support other than the extreme cases. He doesn’t have whatever that charisma is that Trump has, and he’s pissed off everyone. Him getting the nom would be great for democrats.
